7 Common Mistakes Home Sellers Make

The market has been hot this summer, but as our kids get back in school and the buyer pool shrinks, more homes come into the market to compete with ours and the interest rates go up the market slows down. We should all pay attention to these mistakes...so we don't make them.

1) Failing to analyze why we are selling.
2) Not preparing our home for the buyer's eye.
3) Pricing the home incorrectly.
4) Selling too hard during showings.
5) Making it difficult for buyers to get information on our home.
6) Signing a long-term listing agreement without a written performance guarantee
7) Failing to obtain a pre-approved mortgage for one's next home.
